Chapter 291: The Change of Goguryeo

Like the last time, this one was not long, but it was read in a matter of moments.

But the shock of the ministers was no worse than just now.

And Li Hong's face was also a little ugly.

Because the person who went on this performance is an extraordinary person!

Not only is it not anyone in the hall, but it is not even a citizen of the Tang Dynasty!

His name is Izumi Boy! Goguryeo people!

Although this name is not well-known in Datang, he has a famous father, Quan Gai Suwen!

Speaking of this Quangai Suwen, his reputation in Datang is really not small.

Although nominally it is only the Great Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo, that is, the prime minister, but in fact he is the actual controller of the entire Goguryeo, even better than Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

When he was thirty-nine years old, he murdered the then ruler of Goguryeo, King Yeolyu, and then supported a puppet Gozang, and he firmly controlled the military and political power of Goguryeo, and his power was monstrous.

Most importantly, Quangae Suwen was a man who believed in iron-fisted rule, and under his rule, Goguryeo repeatedly waged wars, united with Baekje, and attacked Silla, directly threatening the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty.

And it was at that time that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to expedition to Goguryeo at the request of the king of Silla, and fought with Quangai Suwen several times, all of which were defeated.

Although the opponent's vitality was greatly injured and he stopped, the Tang army also stopped at the foot of Beisha City!

The grievances between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo can be said to have been around for a long time!

Even Emperor Taizong once said on his deathbed, "If Goguryeo is not removed, the future generations will be in great trouble"!

In the early years of Li Zhi's succession, he also launched an expedition against Goguryeo, but because of the long journey, the inability to attack for a long time, and the heavy snow and cold weather, Li Zhi had no choice but to order the retreat!

But at the same time, Goguryeo also became a piece of Li Zhi's heart......

Thinking of this, Li Hong's face was slightly gloomy.

In fact, this recital only talks about one thing, Quan Gai Suwen died of illness, the second son of the male rebelled, forcing the boy to flee, and now the Quan boy has no way out, so he has to go to the Tang Dynasty and ask the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help him suppress the rebellion!

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate! At the beginning, the first emperor and Quan Gai Suwen were mortal enemies, but now how can I, the Tang Dynasty, send troops to help him quell the civil strife? ”

Sighing, Dai Zhide stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

In fact, the political affairs hall had already received the news of Quangai Suwen's death in this matter, but after everyone discussed it, they unanimously suppressed the matter.

Because they all knew how persistent the emperor was about this matter, once the emperor knew that Quangai Suwen had died, he would inevitably send troops to Goguryeo.

If it is placed in normal times, this matter is indeed imperative, although Quangai Suwen is powerful, but after all, the name is not right, once he dies, Goguryeo will inevitably be in chaos, it is a great opportunity for the Tang Dynasty!

But the problem is that this timing is too coincidental, the army of the Western Expedition has just returned to the DPRK last year, and the Turkic peace talks have not yet ended, and now is the time to recuperate, how can we continue to wage a big war!

What's more, Goguryeo is indeed a hard bone, not that the military strength of the Tang Dynasty is not enough to break through it, but the time and place are not on the side of the Tang Dynasty, and it is really difficult to capture Goguryeo!

Previously, they finally pushed Li Zhi back with no money, but they didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Li Zhi thought of the Turkic New Year's coin......

For a moment, Li Hong seemed to feel a few more resentful glances behind him.

"Why not? For a long time, Goguryeo has been ambitious, vainly trying to compete with my Tang Dynasty, and has repeatedly violated the will of the first emperor and invaded Silla. ”

Li Zhi's tone was a little unhappy, and his voice was much lower.

The grievances between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo have been going on for a long time, when Li Zhi was still the crown prince, he watched his father, Emperor Taizong, worry about Goguryeo, it can be said that the problem of Goguryeo has become the heart disease of the two generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty!

Besides, Goguryeo, under the rule of Quangai Suwen, has been expanding outwards and has begun to threaten the security of the Tang Dynasty, so even if it is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi must capture Goguryeo!

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is indeed hateful, but now that Quangai Suwen is dead, there will inevitably be chaos within Goguryeo, and it must not continue to threaten my Datang in a short period of time, so why rush for a while?"

This time it was Xue Yuanchao, the servant of the door, who spoke, and his tone was tactful.

However, there are still opposing views.

Li Zhi's face was slightly ugly, and he spoke.

"Since Xue Aiqing knows that there will be chaos within Goguryeo today, how can I, Datang, miss this opportunity, this moment should be the time to capture Goguryeo, how can I retreat?"

"Your Majesty, having said that, after last year's Western Expedition, I'm afraid that my Tang Dynasty is no longer able to support the Eastern Expedition......"

Hao Chujun frowned and said without scruples.

Indeed, this is the biggest problem.

"Didn't Hao Xiang hear what Hong'er just said? Once the Turkic coins can be put in place, they will inevitably be able to support them, as long as our army fights quickly, it will naturally be fine! ”

Li Zhi said with a smug smile on his face.

There was silence in the hall for a while, no one thought that the emperor would actually fight this idea, and Tang Lin especially cried with a sad face, who would have thought that this duck with a beak could fly!

However, looking at Li Zhi's eager gaze, Tang Lin quickly calculated in his heart, shook his head, and spoke.

"Your Majesty, if what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true, if the Turkic coins can be delivered on schedule, it should not affect the normal operation of the imperial court!"

"Okay, Tang Qing deserves to be the important minister of the country!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi immediately smiled, and he had a lot more confidence in speaking.

He knew that this old minister who had followed him for many years would definitely not let him down!

"Tang Shangshu's words are wrong, and the Turkic peace talks have not yet ended, how can he make such an assertion?"

However, Li Zhi was happy, but Hao Chujun's face was a little ugly, and he asked.

"Hao Zhongshu, don't embarrass the old man, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the one responsible for the peace talks, if this batch of New Year's coins does not arrive, the household department is indeed unable to continue to support the Eastern Crusade!"

Tang Lin smiled bitterly, arched his hand and said.

He had long known that saying this would cause displeasure among others, but he couldn't help it.

Although he did not approve of launching the Eastern Crusade at this moment, for so many years, he was able to stand tall in the DPRK by never hiding anything from Li Zhi, and this time was of course no exception!

"Your Highness, now that the peace talks have started, according to Your Highness, the New Year's coins may be delivered as scheduled?"

Sighing, Dai Zhide also knew Tang Lin's difficulties, so he no longer embarrassed him, but turned to Li Hong and asked.

All of a sudden, all eyes in the hall returned to Li Hong...... (To be continued.) )
